The excitement around the popular browser Mozilla Firefox continues, which, according to the ranking of sought-after software for surfing the internet, is among the top five applications.
Unsuccessful Update of Mozilla Firefox Browser
Problems began with a software update that occurred 10 days ago. The improved version of the browser notified users about increased stability and minor interface enhancements. However, on the same day, web developers discovered an issue with page caching and created relevant topics on specialized forums. By the way, the problem with data saving in forms of the Composer plugin for WordPress has not yet been resolved.
The second issue affected user privacy. The browser, without the owner’s knowledge, installed an add-on called Looking Glass. After investigation, it was found that this is not a Trojan or spam, but an advertisement for the series “Mr. Robot.”
According to Mozilla Firefox developers, users who discovered the advertising issue gave consent to the installation independently. By default, during program installation, the Mozilla Shield Studies feature is enabled, which allows additional modules to be installed without the owner’s permission.
And it gets even more interesting. The series “Mr. Robot” depicts security issues, where the main character, working as an administrator during the day, hacks into other servers at night, turning into a tough hacker. Security experts recommend watching the series for users concerned about the safety of their data. Mozilla Firefox acts as a spokesperson, informing the masses in such a strange way.
